Nope, rateable value is too high for exemption.

Good morning, I purchased a school in December 16, long story and lots of dramas which I will not bore you with here. I am currently paying horrendous business tax which since April has increased as the RV more than doubled. My question is, at what stage can I have council tax? I have my plans ready to submit for change of use, do I have to wait for that to be granted before I go to VOA to beg for a reduction? I was not allowed empty premises as the school board used all that up before my purchase. I asked for a reduction as the property is no longer a school so it was changed to Premises/Business. The rates are going to make me bankrupt before the build begins! I am in Wales BTW.
